Firstly, the massage therapist wore gloves, which was odd, and didn't feel too nice. Secondly, she didn't focus on my head and neck as asked. She mainly did my upper back, and worked out knots in between my shoulder blades, which was painful. I know it's tense, it always will be from my job... when I want a Swedish, please stop trying to do a deep tissue. It hurts and it leave feeling angry because I wanted to relax, not feel pain. She also hardly did my scalp and neck at all, and that was the ONE place she didn't apply pressure. I'll continue my search for somewhere else.

I scheduled a couples massage and salt cave session for my husband and I. My 60 minute massage with…read moreCaley was amazing!!! It was the perfect amount of pressure and she adjusted based on my requests. The salt cave experiment after was equally amazing! All of my allergy symptoms seemed to melt away. I highly recommend Crystal's Healing Hands and have already booked more appointments!

Solid 4 star massage. Not the worst but also not the best massage I've had…read more They were very accommodating, I called 2 hours before I wanted to come and they were able to work me in. The ambiance was by far the best of any massage parlor I've been to, they really do well at helping to immerse you in the world of relaxation. The people were very friendly and I have no complaints there. Pricing was great! Introductory 50min massage was only $50! The service itself was okay, nothing special, just an average massage. The masseuse listened to my requests, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd come back here because it was a pleasant experience but maybe try a different masseuse next time.

It was a so so massage but the ending made me very happy...and a little sleepy. I'll be back.read more

I am not from the Roanoke area. I am in town doing some physical work that requires much lifting…read moreand bending. Given that I have significant back issues with stenosis, spondylolithiasis, disc degeneration, a sizable bone spur, and arthritis in the L1 and sacrum area, massage is a therapeutic modality that I require on a regular basis. My particular situation is somewhat dire in that most people would probably have capitulated and had surgical intervention. However, I don't see that in my future. Chiropractic ART, pharmacology, yoga, physical therapy, acupuncture, etc. are all arrows in my quiver that I use routinely. In addition I receive spinal injections every three months that cost $9000 per shot. Fortunately I have insurance. I was reluctant to try to get a massage here it as I don't have familiarity with local businesses nor have I heard any recommendations for who is good. Fortunately, I did make an appointment and had what can only be described as the best massage of my life!!! My masseuse was a delightful woman named Lulu. She is remarkable. She seems to have a keen understanding of physiology and an intuitive sense for those problem areas that plague me. Prior to my injury, I saw massage as an indulgence. Now it is a requirement. I have had countless massages since my injury in 2015, but none has ever approached the skill and insight that Lulu demonstrated. And compared to the cost of the spinal injections this seems almost a bargain. There is no way I can thank her enough. The relief I feel is nothing short of remarkable. Makes me wish I live in Roanoke!

It has been a week and I still can't thinking about how perfect this massage was. I used to BE a…read moremassage therapist, and I would only trade services with the absolute best I could find, and going to massage school I was able to find a few. I have not had a massage of this caliber in YEARS, and now all I can do is lament that I don't live closer (got this massage on a visit to Roanoke). I got the Swedish/Deep Tissue combo because I wanted something familiar and the barefoot thing sounded odd... I wasn't sure how it would work. Now I am 100% confident that I will see Melanie every time I go to Roanoke (partner's parents live there). Next time I am going to try the barefoot work. I truly never thought I would find another massage therapist of this caliber before, and all I want to do is go back, but I am already back in the Washington D.C. area. Thanks Melanie! I can't wait to book another session, whenever that might be!!

I've been having weekly massages with Kate for 6 weeks or so now, and I cannot recommend her…read moreenough. Massage is critical for my health, as I've got a disabling chronic illness that keeps me quite sedentary (and with a hyper-sensitive nervous system and low pain tolerance). I've had monthly massage as part of physical therapy, for years- but since March 2020 I hadn't had a single one. So I was in pretty bad shape when I first went to Kate. And by the end of my 60-minute session, my chronic pain was so far reduced by her skill, I almost wept with relief. She's not the cheapest massage therapist I've ever had- but she's by far the best, and worth every penny. Even days when I'm not in pain, I can feel the difference after her massage. And she varies her technique and focus based on how I'm feeling as well as her own expertise. Every massage with her has made a noticeable difference in my body, for the better. She's also very personable and calm, doesn't try to chat at me during the massage, and has created a calming, welcoming environment with her studio (from the electric fireplace to the music, to the warming massage table, the cleanliness of the space, the plants and crystals, etc.) Her cupping machine is interesting, and her massage lotion is great for my dry, sensitive skin. She's a very positive, kind person (as well as being observant) and clearly is continuing to develop her considerable skill. I'm so grateful she's practicing in Roanoke, and will continue to get regular massage from her for as long as she's here.
